A 50 kWh/1 MW class flywheel energy storage system has been developed. The system has a steel flywheel, a thrust bearing using a superconducting coil and iron cores, and active magnetic bearings for stabilization in the radial direction. FEM analysis of electromagnetic characteristics of the thrust bearing was performed for studying rotational losses caused by eddy currents induced in the rotor core...
We report a development of 50 kWh-class flywheel energy storage system using a new type of axial bearing which is based on powerful magnetic force generated by a superconducting coil. This axial bearing can support a large mass. So, even at low rotational speeds, the flywheel system can have larger energy storage capacity by enlarging the mass of flywheel. Thus, this system does not require special...
